Why would this affect anyone getting pulled over by the police? Neither the police, nor the motorist are going to be looking over source code.
This is 100% about black developers. Have you bothered asking black developers how they feel about this?

White folk were sent to Australian labor camps for stealing a loaf of bread. Slaves were not only Black. Are Egyptians tearing down their pyramids? No. It's nonsensical. Real racists do exist, but meanings evolve. Sinister no longer means left-handed.
